School Library Journal, Series Made Simple

Reviewed on 1 April 2011

“Photos go beyond the standard portraits to show, for instance, harvestmen mating and multiple shots of ticks feeding. Each volume also includes multimedia resource lists and a science activity designed to provide insight on the arachnid world without actually involving any live animals. First-rate.” —School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
